Boost your pipeline with Datasmith

Autodesk 3ds Max

Directly translate a 3ds Max scene including lights, cameras, materials, and geometry while maintaining familiar scene hierarchy. The Datasmith plugin for 3ds Max also converts popular V-Ray, Corona, and Mental Ray elements into Unreal Engine assets.

Cinema 4D

Supported extensions: c4d

Import and nondestructively reimport Cinema 4D files directly into Unreal Engine, preserving scene hierarchies, instances, layers, physical materials, lights, cameras, and PSR animations.
